Abstract :
The areas of technical and mechanical challenges associated with designing portable testers are examined; e.g., environment, accuracy, vertical compatibility, human interface, diagnostic capability, utility and portability. The approaches suggested are based on experience, maintenance philosophy, and present and anticipated technologies. Challenges in designing portable test equipment that require careful tradeoffs and innovative approaches are discussed
